05-16-16 Monday Early Start

[Larry Sullivan]

#15 working early today, I missed the start but they just came from the shop now have 463 in tow, I am guessing maybe went inside to move 484 out back.

Well 463 has for sure been put inside the shop, I think 484 is out back, it's hard to tell with the sun glare on the depot cam right now. #15 shut down and parked again outside the roundhouse.

Thanks for that Larry. I looked in around 6:40am and noticed that the 463 had gone. More smoke today I wonder ....

I have it from good sources that the 484 and 463 are generally ready, and that 489 will be ready in the first week of the season.

Aside from that early shuffling, not much to be seen. However, judging from what I see on the depot cam, it appears that #484 got its lettering over the weekend.

The other speeder is back on the rails ...

Here's a video compilation of the day -- total run time about 15 minutes. Starts with #15 moving #463 inside the shop -- previously (not on video) #15 had pushed #484 out of the shop on the South side. Other work shown is a pickup truck brings in a fire patrol water tank on a trailer, which is put on the rails - then the speeder that has been sitting off rails all winter is put on and attached. Interestingly this tank is not hooked directly to the speeder, but several feet behind connected with maybe 10? feet of steel. After dealing with some wet/snow/hail the water tank that has been next to the roundhouse is moved onto the trailer for removal. The "new" speeder and tank moved off to the wye, after which time I lost the cams so not sure where they are currently located.
